About HARPs and BH HCBS
HARPs are health insurance plans offered by select Medicaid Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) for people with serious mental illness and substance use disorders. These Plans offer specialized services and additional behavioral health benefits such as rehabilitation and wellness services including peer support, individualized employment assistance, education support, and more to eligible individuals. These benefits are called Adult Behavioral Health Home and Community-Based Services (Adult BH HCBS).
